The whole team wins.

The 2015 release of Adobe Creative Cloud for teams empowers your creative staff with the world’s best apps and services, now re-imagined to work across desktop and mobile. It also makes software and license management a breeze for IT, and helps everyone work smarter while keeping costs low.

The best tools.Always up to date.

Only the 2015 release of Creative Cloud for teams gives your staff access to the world’s best desktop apps, including Adobe Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign CC. Plus, Creative Cloud extends the power of those apps to mobile devices, so your team can do production-quality work anywhere they are. And with exclusive feature updates at no extra cost, they’ll have everything they need to create amazing work.

Your budget will benefit.

It’s all about affordability, scale and ease. With an annual Creative Cloud for teams membership, you can budget more predictably, lower your up-front costs and leverage volume discounts. Set your own anniversary date to align to your buying cycle, and rest assured that your software will always be in compliance.

Reassign licenses for maximum flexibility.

Licenses are tied to the company, not the individual user, so you can reissue seats as business needs change. For example, get freelancers and contractors up and running immediately, and then reassign their licenses when their projects are complete.

Transform teamwork.

Another great reason to step up to Creative Cloud for teams? It makes collaboration easier than ever, so your staff can get more done in less time. With Creative Cloud for teams, they can securely share creative files, folders and custom-built asset libraries with each other and their stakeholders — all from their desktops, tablets and smartphones.

Expert help and training.

With access to hundreds of video tutorials plus exclusive phone access to Adobe product experts, your creative team can quickly learn new skills and solve workflow issues. (Each team member gets two Expert Sessions per year.) Plus, your IT staff now has access to advanced, 24/7 tech support — including a dedicated phone line for Creative Cloud for teams admins — to help deployments run smoothly.

Designed for creatives. Approved by IT.

Creative Cloud for teams makes life easier for IT with simple license management and flexible deployment. Add and reassign seats in just a few clicks using the web-based Admin Console.

Deployment?You’re in the driver’s seat.

When you move up from Creative Suite to the 2015 release of Creative Cloud for teams, you can deploy apps and updates the way that works best for you and your team. Either do it centrally, so you can control the frequency of updates, or allow team members to self-install. Either way, you’ll give them access to the creative apps they need — including Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign CC — to do their greatest work.

License management made simple.

Your licenses are always current, so noncompliance is a nonissue. Deploy Adobe software to your team members even before the purchasing process is complete — billing catches up at the next payment cycle. And because licenses are tied to the company, not the individual user, you can reissue seats at any time. The Admin Console makes it point-and-click easy.

Spend less going in.Get more out.

Budget more predictably and lower your up-front costs with an annual membership that includes access to industry-leading creative apps, plus exclusive feature updates at no additional cost. Easily scale as your team grows, and leverage volume discounts for larger purchases.
